Count number of tables in database

Count number of tables in database

(OP)
I need a query that can count the number of tables in a database?

RE: Count number of tables in database

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

RE: Count number of tables in database

Note that INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES contains both types tables; both base tables and views.

And you will only get information about tables you have access rights to.
